I got a call tonight from the owner of One Cup, he asked if I would like to come in tomorrow morning and help him roast beans. I told him I'd have to check my schedule first... turns out I'm free. I couldn't be more blessed. Under normal circumstances I don't get that phone call. However, I truly believe God's had his hands all over it.
Let me give you 7 degrees of my One Cup phone call:
1) Mallory and I move to Oregon in search of coffee experience.
2) After a few months of church hopping, Mallory engages in conversation with a guy during running group because he has a cut under his eye.
3) Turns out Drew (guy from running group) moved to Eugene as a church plant from Indiana and Invites us to his "house church".
4) Mallory and I become apart of Awakening Church.
5) Awaking Church came to Eugene to serve. However, upon arrival they did not have a specific mission from God. They soon learned is would be to serve the people on the fringes of society in the most unchuched county in America.
6) The Church is connected with Pastor David, A.K.A the street pastor through a local food bank. David came to Eugene with a church plant that ended up disbursing 15 years ago. However, David continued to serve the homeless of Eugene by feeding people out of the back of his truck and later starting a service at the Lamb Cottage (I emailed many of you about this service) where our church is a major contributor each week.
7) David's Daughter and Son-in-law own One Cup Cafe.
Mallory and I felt peace when I quit my job over a week ago and although I currently do not have "job offer" we are certain God is looking out for us and knows the desire of our heart.

Congrats on the New Job!! I'm so happy for you!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds great - Every bit of learning the business will be an investment in what God has for you in your tomorrows as well as today! I loved the way you laid out the process of how God has led you. It's 5am and the storm has begun to rage! It's supposed to rain big time today and I'm scheduled to paint in the city - It's a good day! We booked our flight for OKC yesterday. . . we get in Thurs 5/13 and leave Sun. late afternoon. I can't wait to see you!
